We want to go to Heze to see peonies on April 25th. Is there anything left at that time?

But as Heze citizens, we all like to call it the Peony Fair.

Every April 15, many tourists come to watch this "king of flowers in absolute beauty". Generally, cultural programs are held in Xiguan Peony Gymnasium in Heze, and many stars are invited to help out. At school, we always pick up the radio and listen to the program secretly when we hold cultural programs (the teacher won't let us listen to the class, hehe)

Flower viewing places are generally in Cao Zhou Peony Garden, Ancient and Modern Garden and Baihua Garden near Zhaolou.

Others know something about peony.

The peony planted in Heze is all planted in the field, with an existing cultivation area of more than 50,000 mu and more than 600 varieties. The annual Heze Peony Fair has been held many times. 1992, with the approval of the State Council, Heze held the first international peony flower fair, and invited experts, scholars and florists from more than ten countries including North Korea, Japan, the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands and France to participate. At the same time, a large-scale peony ordering meeting was held to introduce China peony to the world. Tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign guests witnessed the colorful and profitable Heze peony and discussed economic and trade cooperation. The 18 meeting was successfully held. At present, Heze Peony has accounted for 85% of the domestic sales share, and Heze Peony has advanced into the international market with its head held high.

Heze International Peony Flower Fair usually opens in mid-April every year, and then various cultural activities such as large-scale cultural performances, peony illustration art exhibitions, peony image ambassador trials, popular plots, and exhibitions of famous painters and painters have been launched one after another, showing China Peony City, calligraphy and painting to the fullest. The main venues are Peony District Gymnasium, Forest Exhibition Hall, City Museum, Heze Grand Theatre and Cao Zhou Peony Garden. At present, 1 156 varieties of Heze peony in 9 colors, such as black, red and yellow, have passed the registration certification of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Holding the International Peony Fair has broadened Heze people's horizons and developed the peony-based flower industry into a pillar industry. We invited experts and professors to redesign the Peony Garden according to the principle of combining arbor, shrub and grass, focusing on the architectural style of the external garden. With the peony office as the center, Fiona Fang is planned to be a peony industrial zone with 35 square kilometers. More than 10 townships have planted peony in a large area, with an average annual growth of 1 10,000 mu. Peony resource garden and peony gene bank have also been established rapidly. At the same time, cooperate with China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing Forestry University and other universities and scientific research units to increase the research and development of peony. Major breakthroughs have been made in scientific research topics such as peony flower forcing, fresh cut flowers, variety breeding, soilless culture and tissue culture. The flowering of peony in four seasons has become a reality, and the technology of bud grafting and rapid propagation has been popularized. Heze Peony with high-tech content won two world awards and 79 gold, silver and bronze awards in one fell swoop at the 99 Kunming World Horticultural Exposition in China, accounting for 73.2% of the total number of awards, thus establishing the world dominance of Heze Peony. Peony-based flowers have become an economic growth factor to promote Heze's prosperity and vitality.
